Dubai city was asleep before the sun rose. The pre-dawn sky lay pearl-gray and blue, and the buildings looked fragile in the dusty haze.
Sitting in a taxi on my way to the hotel, I remembered a series of overloaded advertisements and TV commercials I saw in both Europe and Asia that bombarded the significance and aggressive economic development in this deserted city. The more I think about them, the less impressed I am with the city’s presence. It is amazing what advertisement can do to an ordinary city like Dubai, where is peppered with construction sites, artificial beaches and wide highways.
